The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $700,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields.
The three-year award will support research into diagnosing astrophysical plasmas using laser-driven nucleosynthesis in far-from-equilibrium plasmas. The University of Texas at Austin will utilize $700K in funding over the September 2021 to August 2024 period to conduct experiments that generate extreme plasma conditions to study astrophysical processes and nuclear reactions not otherwise accessible on Earth. Insights from this work have the potential to further scientific understanding of plasma dynamics in astrophysical environments like stars and supernovae.
